SpaceDrake posted:They still need to MAKE a proper PSP version of EP, though. I highly suspect that'll be Atlus' swan song for the PSP and their last title for the system. I dunno, they tend to hang onto systems a little longer than their main lives. Persona 4 for the PS2 and now Devil Survivor 2 for the DS (rather than 3DS). I could see an EP game coming out for the PSP

TheIllestVillain posted:I'm thinking of picking up Tactics Ogre seeing as it has so many glowing reviews, is it worth my hard earned $19.99? Its my favorite SRPG of all time and I really think the retranslation does wonders for it. The difficulty is also lessened from the original game, so if you're new to SRPGs its not overwhelmingly difficult.

I don't know anywhere else to ask this but I am about to play Last Remnant for the first time (have had it sitting on steam since it released on there) and I know the game has a bunch of Bullshit Unintuitive Mechanics where you can permanently gimp yourself by killing too many enemies or leveling too fast, or using too many guys or some silly things before a certain point in the game. I know some things changed between the XBOX -> PC port, but if anyone can give me a basic spoiler free rundown of what to do to not gently caress myself over horribly I would be most appreciative.

Rascyc posted:If you're not out to min-max your units from day 1 then you don't need to know anything up front and can play comfortably however you want. You can sleep peacefully knowing that they dialed back the enemy scaling in relation to your BR, and that linking enemies doesn't gently caress you as hard in the PC version. Linking can still gently caress you IN EGREGIOUSLY MASSIVE QUANTITIES though so don't grind like a madman unless you need to (enemies scale at certain BR levels so grinding can end up blowing up in your face unless you min-max the way you grind). I am mostly worried that if I get to too high a level I won't be able to effectively use Cool Dudes I get later on in the game. If I just play normally and do the sidequests as they appear, I won't mess up future additions to my force, will I?

Xenix posted:I'd be more worried about character planning than being too high of a level. I found it really obnoxious that I wanted my characters to go one direction, but through poor planning watched them go another without a means to correct it easily. Could you give me some suggestions about how to be proactive about it? I tried looking at wikis and stuff but it throws so much information at you and terminology I have no idea what it means. I did start it up and am enjoying it so far despite the game trying to turn you off to it almost immediately. So far Pros are: Emma  Music owns Battles look awesome as all get out Cons: Johnny Yong Bosch Rush is retarded (On the upside his model looks as dumb as he acts and sounds) Help what do I do I understand nothing That intro Jesus Christ Seriously how does Johnny Yong Bosch keep getting work with only one available voice As long as the battles look as cool as they do on the first few fights and the music continues to be great I am fine with just hitting buttons and hoping for the best

Playing through Last Remnant it really feels as though if they didn't make the decision to hide so many details from the player and punish you (on the XBOX) when playing it like a normal RPG this could have been a huge hit. From what I've seen it seems like it was pretty heavily panned, at least by players. Not being able to equip your dudes or choose what classes they evolve into feels neat, as though I am just directing the troops and they make their own decisions. While I would like more info about them upgrading their weapons and stuff (Pagus I have like 40 Chimera Husks please take one) and how many of each item they request they actually need, the overall feel of the game is really engrossing. Hard battles feel *hard* and when you beat them it is a moment of relief and actually feeling like you accomplished something in a game. The story is loving atrocious though and while I love me some bad voice acting (Dynasty Warriors comes to mind) it really feels like the English cast outside of a few characters had absolutely no direction at all. I do feel like I may be too high a BR though, because wherever I look people are at a place called Eagle's Nest (not there yet, at Heroic Ramparts or something) and they have BRs of like 15 where as I am already at 21. (I am doing all subquests though)

Stelas posted:e: While we're on bad games, right now I'm kind of feeling like FF13-2's way up there. Serah's simpering, the super Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe of the plot, the completely nonsensical decisions the characters frequently make or their total lack of short term memory, Square's inability to track a non-linear plot, and the fact I've spent twelve loving hours total on this goddamn slot machine are really putting it up there. I might start liking it again once I sort out that last part, though. So far I love Last Remnant but goddamn is the plot up to now atrocious and it just feels like everything is shown through the eyes of an ADD Child (Rush). It goes from "I gotta find my sister!" to "I gotta find my parents!" to "Who is that guy in a Red Sarong let's stop looking for my parents and find him!" The only saying grace is that Torgal is basically  "Yeah okay." everytime.It just feels really ping-pongy and honestly if I wasn't doing the sidequests I'd feel it would be more ridiculous seeming in how fast it goes from one to another. Also another thing that bothers me is that people start using villains' names before we are told them, what with Rush being all like "We gotta go get Wagram!" and I don't figure out who the hell that is til like 3 scenes later since his name is not mentioned prior to that

ImpAtom posted:It's significantly easier. I wouldn't say that at all. There are less bullshit "protect NPC" missions, but bosses do a lot more damage and some of them can be very difficult if you go in with a not-optimized setup. The last boss in DS2 is harder that any of the ending paths in DS1, in my opinion. Fights end up being very front loaded by the end of the 5th day, where either you will 1 round KO the opposing group or it will do the same to you, depending on luck/initiative. That being said I only had to reset maybe 3 times in all, but the last boss made me spend a decent amount of time forming a perfect "gently caress you" team and if I didn't do that I probably would have had a ton more resets. Also a tip for the final days: Reflect Phys is pretty much a must have on all your demons you can get it on. A ton of enemies use multi-hit attacks and a lot of them have Pierce. Fortunately Rangda comes with it innate and is usable in a ton of fusions so you can sprad it around. If you get a Phys Set Add-on, I would recommend saving it as well in case you want to stick a good Physical Skill on a Str Demon as well as Reflect Phys on a demon that it is annoying to get it on.

ImpAtom posted:By the time I got to the last boss, I had a character who was invincible to everything but one element and he was strong to that, so I admit I didn't really have much trouble with it. In general, I felt like it was much easier to build your character's defenses to the point where enemies doing more damage didn't matter because they couldn't damage me. I had a Titania, Purple Mirror, Oberon and various other demons who all resisted or reflected everything aside from Almighty. I just carried along defensive spells and used my Add-Ons occasionally and the end result was an unkillable demon army. Yeah I had all the same as well when I beat him, but I lacked an Avian/Wilder/Genma so the path up to him was a death zone pretty much due to the map attack. The first time I had a Genma but no Reflect Physical on the team, so it was pretty much instant death in another way. The fact that you pretty much need partial or full invincibility I think shows that DS2 is harder than DS1 where strategy in DS1 involved "man, Holy Dance is a great skill to have" DS2's balance I feel is a lot more in line with what I want to see in a strategy game, but I wouldn't recommend it to people who had issues or troubles with DS1. There's less bullshit, but more difficulty and I feel DS1's bullshit took a lot less effort to overcome than DS2's difficulty, but both are surmountable with a bit of planning and forethought.

Brainbread posted:Hi! Rune Factory 3 is literally Harvest Moon with combat and done pretty well. You don't have to spend *all* of your time worry about what people think of you, and a lot of it is woven into the main gameplay via quests and stuff. You do have to give gifts and things like Harvest Moon games, but I never felt the pressure like I did in the GBA/DS Harvest Moon games of having to keep up an entire town's happiness. I also don't think people's opinion of you drops in RF3 if you ignore them for a bit, but I could be misremembering

Hoshigami is probably the worst game I ever fell in love with, but it is just because the magic creating and combo-chain system finally clicked with me at some point and I just started wrecking everything. Also the fact that I probably grinded for 15 hours at some point but those memories are vague and may or may not be imagined. Kartia was legitmately good though, it was pretty engaging throughout despite the apparently shallow gameplay. I think it got slightly deeper later on, I can't fully remember, but I know my interest or enjoyment never waned with it

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Doesn't the PSP version let you go back and visit other paths? I'm not sure but that's what I heard. Yeah you don't need 2 saves anymore. Crafting is tedious but it can be save scummed (Recipes sometimes have a not-insignificant change to fail). I just made the component materials while mashing confirm on the PSP and reading the forums. It isn't necessary to do but it does change some iffy fights into ones that are more managable. Read the Warren Report often for new news, as if you do not you may miss some sidequests or characters.

For Fortune Summoners, if you have a controller try playing Arche. If you don't, I can see how she'd be kind of a pain to get to do what you want. Once you understand that the enemy AI input reads like a bitch and you have to bait them out sometimes and how to counteract flying enemies (hint: its a combination of downward jumping slash and reckless abandon) it becomes ridiculously fun.

Captain Amerikkka posted:Suikoden sucks a pretty crazy amount of rear end compared to Suikoden 2. Not even worth playing really. Skip to 2, play three, ignore the rest of the series. Suikoden 5 is a great game and I feel better than 3, but 4 can be skipped with no regrets (though Suikoden Tactics is pretty fun). The first Suikoden is an alright game but really kind of aged at this point, thought not to unplayable-ness or anything. Play the first one then play Suikoden 2 about 3 years later, so you can get the full impact of 2.  BoF4 is a great game if you can get past the parts that plod along and the eh dragon form design. The story is really good but it is marred by poo poo pacing

Paperhouse posted:Does anyone have any opinions on Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time for the PSP? Just happened upon it looking around for PSP games, I've vaguely heard of Growlanser before and I think it looks really interesting. I'm not bothered about it being dated or whatever, I like the look of it, but some reviews really complain about elements of the combat, specifically that you get unfairly demolished in tons of fights due to AI bullshit. I can't tell if these people are maybe just bad at the game though It has some difficult fights that are hard to get *perfect* without pre-planning or foreknowledge of the fight, but it is a very solid game and probably my favorite PSP game besides the Tactics Ogre remake

Instead, it is based on something incredibly esoteric like average total stats or some poo poo so you might be able to raise it by a percentage or two if you do absolutely everything in the game. Just by progressing though the game normally a lot of my bars/ores went up from 90ish % to 100% so it at least has a more significant impact on the basic materials
